Casing question.

I just cased with the 50/50 tek plus and I'm curious as to whether I should cover the casing top with tin foil or not? I don't think it'd allow for proper gas exchange like that but it'd be nice to have at least one barrier, any idea's?

I covered it with tin foil until I saw a little bit of white poking through. Don't know if that's the proper tech but it worked for me

have you done cakes ? did you use micropore tape ? put a foil lid on and put six or so holes in, i use a pair of nail scissors then tape them, if you leave it open you are exposed more to contams, depends though if your putting it into the incubater or straight in to the fc , if its the fc i wouldn use foil obviously if your incubating another week then yes do the foil

Def do the foil and put five holes two on one side two on the other and one in the middle. And yea once you case as far as i know you have to let it incubate till the myc is showing evenly through out the tray. I don't see any point to casing and then fc'n it. Def let it incubate. I'm a noob with great success though just my ideas

just put two strips of foil over it, so I'm hoping I'm not just screwing up. It's limed up though so I don't think it'd get con tamed. oh, it's in a incubator since it's like..25 degree's outside.

If you cased with the 50/50 tek, then I'm assuming that you spawned to some sort of substrate, correct? If you did spawn to a substrate, then I'm assuming that the substrate was FULLY colonized before you put the casing layer, correct? If so, then I wouldn't even bother putting the tin foil on, assuming it is in a fruiting chamber.
